MAY 2015 GRADUATION Ohio Wesleyan celebrated its 171st Commencement on May 10 with historic Merrick Hall as the backdrop. More than 350 OWU students became OWU alumni during the ceremony. 12 18 24 28 Features 12 A Regal Rebirth Merrick Hall’s renovation was a milestone in the making. Today the historic building transforms the campus community in ways that preserve OWU’s past and propel its future. 18 Under 35 and On Their Way Six risk-taking alums take on the business world with their own start-up companies, from digital networking sites to healthy ice pops for kids. Putting a liberal arts education into practice is clearly helping these young entrepreneurs succeed. 24 Of Missionaries and Educators OWU’s mission service in China began as early as 1860. Since then, and despite years of political upheaval, says Ezra Vogel ’50, OWU’s legacy has had educational and service impact, including in music and medicine. 28 OH-WOO Rocks! By day, OWU professors light up the classroom with discussions on history, politics, philosophy, and classic literature. By night, several of them also light up local stages performing classic rock tunes to standing-room-only crowds.

  • Comics Go to College: Lagniappe /North Caroliniana
    agniappe*/North Caroliniana L compiled by Suzanne Wise *Lagniappe (lan-yap˘ ˘ ´ , lan˘ ´ yap´) ˘ n. An extra or unexpected gift or benefit. [Louisiana French] Comics Go to College: The Murray Collection at Duke University by Megan Lewis or many of us, reading comic books is a formative childhood experi- ence. Indeed, we can “read” comics pictorially before we can actually Fread. Comics are often the first reading material we select for ourselves and buy with our own money. The small-town newsstand where my brother and I bought Archie comics in the mid-’70s is etched into a corner of my brain: the ring of the bell as we opened the wooden door, the mingled smells of newsprint and tobacco, and the furtive glances towards the counter while we read as many comics as possible just out of the proprietor’s sight. Since the 1930s, comics have been an integral part of the American scene. They have both influenced our collective imagination and reflected the eras in which they were published. From movies (The Matrix) to literature (Michael Chabon’s The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay) to art (Roy Lichtenstein), the footprint of comics on the culture at large is a deep one. Themes ranging from World War II to racism to women’s lib provide unin- tentional commentary on the topical preoccupations of changing times. As the original readers and collectors of comic books––the silent generation and the baby boomers––continue to age, their collections will inevitably change hands. Some will be sold piecemeal to private collectors; some will find their way to libraries.
